bama boy Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 My situation is pretty much like banshee_boy09. It starts, idles, and revs great. When i take off in first gear its like its missing really bad and boggy. If i shift into second it does the same. If i pull in the clutch and rev it once then go its perfect through all the gears. It does it no matter if the bike is warmed up or not. I read on here that reed spacers where shit so i took them off. My only mods are: .40 over boost bottle +4 timing key gold series pipes and silencers My jetting is 280 mains 25 pilots needle 3rd clip from the blunt end Im about 1800-2000 above Just need help on this please. Every since i took off the spacers it seems to be rich and boogy on bottom end. Plugs look ok though. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Im getting very frustrated with this banshee! I have always wanted one. Finally got one and it seems to be more work than fun. I wont give up on this thing!!!!!!! Quote

bama boy Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Posted April 25, 2009 It got worse with the spacers off. So I put them back on. Then changed my jetting to the topic that You replied to about needle clip. Runs great now. Just worried I may be too lean. Bike does seem to run a little hotter than before. Quote
